Calling the fake Jezebel site "Joan of Snark" was so dead-on.  I look at Jezebel sometimes and Joan of Snark is all I can think of whenever anyone talks about "Girls".

@avclub-fc1027164548d0abe0f897f083c29dd6:disqus  it actually kind of is the other one, in that the words they used were homophones and not homonyms.  I still loved that bit though.  Steve Higgins (the host) is really funny, he's great as the Bates-type character in Downton Sixbey on Fallon.

very late to this party (the commenting party, but going through tv club on a rewatch of the series) but i have to jump in just to say I COULD NOT HATE INVISIGOTH MORE.  SHE IS HORRIBLE IN ALL ASPECTS.

i'm mostly interested in it as a human interest story because it makes no goddamn sense.  of all of the theories @avclub-eb106695cc6be23b5f9f646780d5fb23:disqus mentioned above, 0% seem like a remotely good idea/plausible whatsoever.

but notre dame's athletic director cried and said te'o is a victim!  college athletic departments are ALWAYS forthcoming and correct about who is a victim!

what about natalie portman's toes?

DAVID BOWIE IN EXTRAS

how do you buy it??  nothing happens when i click "listen" on the never not funny website, and i don't see anything to click on to download/purchase it…this website is terrible

Opinionated ignorance can be hard to fight since autism isn't all that well understood.  It's still a behavioral diagnosis even though it's mostly understood to be a neurological disorder, so some kids get diagnosed but the underlying problem is that they're actually gluten/casein/whatever intolerant, so wacky…

@paraclete_pizza:disqus  another problem is with the label "high-functioning" - it's generally applied to individuals with relatively high intellect and language skills, but those skills definitely do not necessarily make a person socially functional or even able to care for themselves.

I'm a speech pathologist in public schools and I agree about the labeling - when I was working in other settings everyone was really careful about giving it out as a medical diagnosis, but in schools a lot of kids get the label just for eligibility so they can receive services (generally because they don't quite…

this tells me you did not see holy motors

My brother does post-production sound so he's usually obnoxiously nitpicky, but even I was bothered by the sound in TDKR (both in theaters and on blu ray with a good sound system).  Bane's voice seemed to exist totally separate from any space he was in, and was wayyyy too loud relative to everything else (probably…

I saw about half of Elektra with my brother in a hotel over Christmas this year - it was some of the worst garbage I've ever seen.  Fun to try and figure out where exactly it went wrong though - at first I was blaming the directing but Rob Bowman also directed a bunch of X-Files episodes that I like, so I settled on…

Glad to see some love for Beasts of the Southern Wild, but kind of surprised the actor who played Hushpuppy's dad didn't get nominated, I thought he was amazing.  Also loved the score of that movie.  Would have been happy to see a best original screenplay nod to Looper, or anything to Holy Motors, which was my…

David Duchovny has the same thing, right?

or that they together are the einstein brothers?

that he and bob einstein are brothers is a true revelation for me
